July 1990 Pt. 1 Animedia magazine.

Animedia - First Published in July 1981 by Gakken Co., Ltd. Consisting of 138 pages (including the front & back covers), #7 July 1990 (No 108) 9^th. Anniversary Issue.

As I've said this was one of the ways I got my monthly Anime news. On the whole it does look like Animedia focuses on TV shows, and a younger patron.

Not being able myself to translate the Japanese details of the contents of this magazine, what you get is solely from the few English words and the recognizable animation stills, and illustrations\artwork, and that just suited me just fine back in the 1990's.

[NOTE: with hindsight and Japanese websites (plus Google Translate) and Wikipedia to cross reference to the facts to fill in the gaps post 2010 are getting better.] 

[NOTE: With thanks to D. Kirwin for helping label a few Anime from their photographs.]
